What Does Murdering Muses Mean?

While using a word like "murder" may leave a bad taste in some people's mouths, I find it completely appropriate in context. Besides the alliteration, "murder" correctly paints a word picture of the idea.
The muses are given credit for the arts and sciences, as well any inspiration that any human receives in these areas. To me, this hits home a lot more than most other ancient ursurpers worshipped by various peoples. While most stories of the gods sound more like soap operas, this myth actually gives some of God's most visible creative designs to someone else. So, the purpose of the name is simple. There is a need to give Him back His glory for what He and He alone has done. So that is the purpose and goal. To design and create as He would direct. Though the context of this name's origin is completely irrelevant in today's society, the purpose expressed is more than needed.
